Savage Lies: A High School Bully Romance by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isla Vaughn’s Hidden Valley Elite Book 1 “Savage Lies” was amazing! I stayed up all night reading because I could not put this book down! Riley is a girl with secrets who is not only gorgeous, but she knows how to protect herself, she doesn’t let anyone mess around with her. Cole is the Elite of Hidden Valley High School and always goes after what he wants, and what he wants is the new girl Riley. Cole is not only a star player on the football team, but he participates in underground fights with his brother Damon, and his cousins Phoenix and Shane to help raise money for his cousin’s college tuition. Unfortunately if Cole or the boys got caught he could risk losing any chance any of them have at going to their choice college. Cole makes sure that everyone in the school knows that Riley is off limits, he wants her cold-shouldered and no male is allowed to date her. Cole gets dirt on Riley, while she gets dirt on Cole, and they both go back and forth trying to one-up the other, while trying to fight off the electrical passion that they have between them. Unbeknownst to either one, Riley’s mom is dating Cole’s dad, and he’s proposed marriage. Cole figures out that Riley’s mom was his dad’s mistress when his mom committed suicide, making Cole’s love/hate relationship with Riley even stronger. What lengths will Cole go to make Riley’s life a living hell to get his revenge for the death of his mother, and will their passion for one another go unrequited or will they find an outlet to suit the two, especially with Riley sleeping across the hall from Cole?
